Changing how you hold your body can help change how you feel.
Imagine how someone might look if they have ‘the weight of the world’ on their shoulders. You probably imagine someone with their head down, shoulders forward and back rounded.
This is a protective position. If the world feels like a dangerous, unsafe or overwhelming place, the body tends to move towards a foetal position; this protects the vital organs in the abdominal cavity as our bodies still respond in the same ways to perceived threat or danger as they did thousands of years ago.
Over time, the key muscles in the front of the body become tight pulling the body further towards the foetal position. The muscles that need to be strong in the back of the body to hold us upright become weak. And the fascia (connective tissue) then ‘holds’ the body even more firmly in this position over time.
If you know that your body tends towards a subtle or more pronounced foetal position, try standing tall. Lift the heart towards the sky. This provides more space to breathe and can strongly influence the nervous system too. Try it went you go out. Experiment. Notice how it can change how you feel. Maybe even smile too!
Be aware that it does take time to change the posture. I reckon it took me several months of strengthening and releasing tension from key muscles in my yoga practice and reminding myself frequently through the day to notice my posture and to move frequently to totally change mine - to start with, the muscles in my neck and upper back ached as they weren’t used to holding me upright!

IMPROVING YOUR SITTING POSTURE
Adjust your computer monitor to help with your posture.
If you work on computers at an office, angle the monitor slightly upward so that it forces you to sit up. However, don't set it so high that you push your chin out to see it.
You may need to move your chair up or down if you can't angle the monitor properly.
Adjust your chair and your position so that your arms are flexed, not straight out. Aim for roughly a 75- to 90-degree angle at the elbows. If they are too straight, you're too far back, and if they are more than 90 degrees, you're either sitting too close or you're slouching.

Everyone says you need to "improve your posture" - but what the heck does that actually mean?⠀
.⠀
Since I work with clients remotely, I always encourage them to use props and other everyday objects to help them find better alignment for themselves.⠀
.⠀
And sure, there are devices and straps you can buy that will force your body into better positions - but they're worth zilch if your brain and muscles don't know how to hold you there without them.⠀

How's your non-movement? How do you stand? Being still is just as important as moving.
The way you stand is really important. Good standing posture impacts the rest of your body, you organs, and your breathing. If you have discomfort, check the way that you stand. That may be the problem.
Watch the video to see if you are standing in ways that you shouldn't. Things won't change overnight, but being aware is the first step.

Do you give much attention to what your sitting posture might look like to other people? Are you labeled confident? Comfortable? A slouch? ⠀
⠀
Presenting yourself well is always the aim no matter where you are. You want others to see the real you and not be distracted by body parts or positions that prevent them from hearing what you say or knowing who you are.⠀

Hello, cool wind in my face, salt spray in the air, empty beaches, ocean swells ... sweatshirt weather is here! Autumn in the Hamptons is my favorite time of year. It’s a time to recharge the spirit & retune the physical instrument. I’M STILL TEACHING @muvstrong every Sunday @4pm (YOGA+) and Wednesday’s @6:15PM (MOBILITY+). These classes are designed to reset, reinvigorate the body using specific alignment techniques, refreshing mobility work and some light strength training. Come make a body feel GOOD.

We are WAITING 😉. No membership is required. Drop-ins are welcome. Aloha 🌺 #strengthinmotion#mobility#yogaforstrength#feelgood#goodposture#relievestress#enjoylife#feedthecontainer#muvstrong

💥Pain Free Fridays💥: Sometimes we need to get work done and may not have access to an ergonomic chair or table with all the bells and whistles. Try to make the best out of the situation. Above you can see me sitting at a coffee shop. In the first picture I sat for about 5 minutes and realized I really needed to change the layout to allow me to put less strain on my neck and back while also being more comfortable and supported. ⠀
The first thing I do is MOVE THE TABLE!!! Many tables are way too forward and force you to hunch over to use them. If the table is not bolted to the ground, move it! I do this all the time (especially in restaurants). This allows me to use the back rest and sit more comfortably. It also aligns my spine and hips! The next thing I focus on is looking with my eyes and not with my neck! This helps limit the forward head posture and keeps things stacked!⠀
So when you’re out next time and feel uncomfortable, see if the environment can conform to you instead of the other way around!⠀

Poor posture is oftentimes an underlying cause of your digestive problems, and especially if you are prone to having a bloated stomach, acid reflux, heartburn, constipation, and slow digestion. ✨
Lack of physical activities and sitting at a desk all day and looking down at a smartphone are contributing factors to your poor posture. ✨
A bad posture can compress your digestive organs and negatively affecting your digestive system. The intestines, in particular, are very vulnerable to bad posture.
✨
When our posture is bad, it pressures the intestines to compact, putting great stress on them and preventing them from serving their functions in the ways that they’re supposed to.
✨
If you think that you have a poor posture we recommend that you visit a physical therapist and start doing core exercises, engage in regular stretches and practice correct sitting.
